Whether you're nominating a peer, throwing your hat in the ring or voting in the election, your engagement is essential to the continued strength of our association. Learn more about the nominations and elections process. Let's shape the future—together!
Nominations are open to all association members. You may nominate yourself or another qualified member who meets the established criteria for a given leadership position. To be considered, each nominee must accept the nomination and submit a complete nomination packet, which includes a biographical sketch, headshot photographs and a short video introduction.
The Nominating Committee carefully reviews all submitted packets. Nominees are evaluated against clearly defined position qualifications and criteria. Based on these evaluations, selected nominees are invited to participate in virtual interviews. These interviews play an important role in helping the Nominating Committee determine which individuals will be placed on the final ballot.
Once the slate of candidates is finalized, the ballot is announced and a short campaigning period begins. Voting members then have the opportunity to cast their votes through a secure online election system.
